Process Over
Personality.

A VP of Sales who relies on "gut feeling" is a legacy risk. We find the CROs and Revenue Leaders who build scalable, data-driven sales engines.

Sales leadership isn't about being the "top closer." It's about being a process engineer who can build, manage, and scale a high-performance team. Our sales executive search focuses on "Verifiable ARR Growth." We look past the resume to the underlying metrics: What was the ARR when they started? What was the deal velocity? How many reps achieved quota? By verifying these data points, we ensure your next sales leader has the tactical discipline to deliver results in your specific market: whether it's Enterprise SaaS, Healthcare Tech, or Industrial Manufacturing.

The ARR Growth Blueprint.

We don't just screen for "fit." We screen for multipliers. The right revenue leader optimizes your entire funnel, increasing ACV and shortening sales cycles.

Verifiable Track Records

We perform deep referencing on candidate historical performance. We verify ARR growth, average deal size, and sales cycle compression metrics before they reach your inbox.

Tech-Stack Mastery

Our vetting includes proficiency in modern revenue tech (Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong) and proven frameworks like MEDDIC or Challenger Sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions from service business owners.

How long does it take to hire a VP of Sales?

It depends on the role, the market and the compensation, so we set a timeline with you when the search is scoped. CRO searches at growth-stage companies usually take longer than VP searches because of market mapping and deeper vetting.

How do you evaluate a sales executive candidate?

We evaluate quota attainment over 3+ years, team size managed, average deal size, and rep retention. We look for verifiable growth attributable to their leadership.

When should you use a sales headhunter vs hiring internally?

Use a headhunter when you need a leader with a specific track record who isn't actively looking. We reach passive, performing talent through direct outreach rather than job posts.
